"Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacioussuffering," says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book.This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in ourrelationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness andoverwork-all the forces that keep our lives constricted andunfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including theday-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach's twenty years ofwork with therapy clients and Buddhist students.Writing withgreat warmth and clarity, Tara Brach brings her teachings alive throughpersonal stories and case histories, fresh interpretations of Buddhisttales, and guided meditations. Step by step, she leads us to trust ourinnate goodness, showing how we can develop the balance ofclear-sightedness and compassion that is the essence of Radical Acceptance. Radical Acceptancedoes not mean self-indulgence or passivity. Instead it empowers genuinechange: healing fear and shame and helping to build loving, authenticrelationships. When we stop being at war with ourselves, we are free tolive fully every precious moment of our lives.
